Scheffler and Russell Henley were beat 5 and 3 by Europe’s Matt Fitzpatrick and Aberg.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y.– By himself, Scottie Scheffler is winning more frequently than any individual in golf.
In Ryder Mug foursomes suits, he goes on shedding– and shedding severely.
Scheffler and Russell Henley were beat 5 and 3 by Europe’s Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Åberg on Friday, the top-ranked Scheffler’s 3rd blowout loss in 3 job foursome suits in the Ryder Mug.
2 years after being left in splits when Åberg and Viktor Hovland directed Scheffler and Brooks Koepka 9 and 7 in Rome in the quickest foursomes match in Ryder Mug background, Scheffler saw an additional European duo accumulate birdies versus his team en course to a 3-1 lead after the early morning session.
Fitzpatrick and Åberg made 7 of them in 15 openings. By the time Scheffler and Henley made their 2nd, they were currently 5 down.
” We simply really did not hole sufficient putts early,” Scheffler claimed. “We had some opportunities. I believe the putts simply really did not drop. Yet generally, the men we played, they played a truly great round, and return out this mid-day and see what we can do.”
Scheffler was back out for the mid-day session fourball matches with united state Open champ J.J. Spaun. Henley did not play in the mid-day.
Scheffler has actually won 6 times this year, 4 greater than any individual else on the PGA Trip, with 2 significant champions. Yet he has actually routed by at the very least 4 openings in all 3 of his Ryder Mug foursomes suits.
united state captain Keegan Bradley sent out Scheffler and Henley out 2nd, after Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas. While the leadoff duo was the top-level suit of the early morning, the one after could’ve seemed the most effective united state group.
Henley is No. 3 in the positions, and he and Scheffler went 2-1 with each other in 2014 in the Presidents Mug in Montreal.
Scheffler pumped his clenched fist after rolling in a birdie putt on No. 2 to rapidly link the suit after Fitzpatrick and Åberg had actually won the opener, yet there would not be far more to commemorate for the Americans. The Europeans ran 3 straight birdies to win Nos. 4-6 to develop a 3-up lead that swelled to 5 up.
Scheffler and Henley did make successive birdies on 13 and 14, yet the suit upright the following opening when they made bogey.
” They played wonderful, offered themselves a great deal of opportunities and simply was a little careless,” Henley claimed. “Really did not make the putts I required to and really did not truly maintain the energy selecting the ball-striking on the back 9, either. Hung in there as ideal I could, yet they played wonderful.”
Scheffler likewise shed 4 and 3 with Sam Burns versus Jon Rahm and Tyrell Hatton in his various other foursomes match in 2023, when he went 0-2-2. He really did not play in either suit in his Ryder Mug launching in 2021, when he went 2-0-1.
” We struck a great deal of good shots and made it hard for them today, which was great,” Åberg claimed.
